Balochistan minister says Achakzai scared to name terrorists

Mir Ziaullah Langau, Balochistan interior minister, has accused opposition leader in the National Assembly Mahmood Khan Achakzai of misleading the nation by not naming the terrorists behind the assaults.

Ziaullah Langau stated the conduct of not naming terrorists was an act of fear in response to the remark of Mahmood Khan Achakzai and said that a terrorist organization has already taken responsibility for the Saranan incident.

Balochistan Interior Minister stated Achakzai was misleading the public by not naming the terrorist groups due to fear of his life. “This is the kind of fear that cannot be removed from the hearts of some leaders,” he said, calling such an attitude hypocritical.

Ziaullah Langau said some leaders were taking shortcuts by putting all the blame on the administration. Leaders are terrified for their lives and that is why they are reluctant to name terrorist organisations, he said.

“The people of Balochistan were being kept in dark about the real facts and all responsibility was being shifted to the government,” he claimed. A real leader must lead the people in the field, and tell the truth’, he continued.

The interior minister of Balochistan further remarked that demonstrating the wrong route to the Pashtun people instead of telling them the facts and truth was not friendship to the Pashtuns but outright hatred to them.
